I don't really get the stink over this new radio footage. We already knew both teams over-stepped the mark with trying to influence the race director and we already know he didn't handle it well and didn't follow the regulations properly. It's disingenuous that some people are trying to sell this clip as new, damning evidence. They're not going to overturn the result of the championship so I don't really get why people have to drag it all back up just as people were just looking forward to the new season.

Maybe it's just to remind everyone of the fact that he's inept and we need someone new.

Brundle was on there saying he's heard a number of names are being discussed to be part of a team of people who will take on the race director's role after it gets effectively chopped up and shared out. Masi wasn't one of them.

Results of the inquest in London will be made public in a couple of days. There's going to be a shake-up and changes, this makes me think Masi may be gone.

I don't know the back story but it's surprising Herbie Blash wasn't involved after Charlie Whiting passed away anyway. He shared a lot of the previous race director's responsibilities and was pretty much a household name as far as F1 circles go.

Well Christian Horner is a massive wankpuffin so anything he says I automatically disagree with.

Toto Wolff has claimed in the Sky Sports documentary about last season that Michael Masi was 'turned' by Red Bull last season.

I'm sorry but this is too far. I know he's upset about losing the Drivers' Championship but this is an accusation of corruption from a team principal that is backed up only by speculation. I expect better from him.

My mate reckons Toto has been found wanting a but when under real pressure for over the course of a full season. What do others think of this opinion? Personally I thought he'd be calmer then he was.

"The race director should not be somebody that people talk about."

Quite right, and nor should the team principal, but that didn't stop him and Horner from acting like Bond villains during all of 2021.
